RECAP - Moonshot Invitational - 9/4/21
This past Saturday marked the halfway point of the Moonshot Invitational $1K Series as we hosted the latest event at our Mass Ave Store. This was the ninth $1K Magic: the Gathering tournament out of 17 in our Moonshot Invitational Series, and was another Modern Format event.
Abe Schnake was able to take the top prize again with his Izzet Murktide deck. Joshua Satterfield captured the second place finish with his Jeskai Breach deck and was able to secure an invite to our Championship $10K in November. Since Abe has already earned an invite to our Championship in November, Chris Andersen got the nod for his third place finish with his Hammer Time deck.
